I use an Earth system model to simulate the impact of astronomical (insolation) forcing on the atmosphere-ocean system. Specifically, I explore how spectral signals propagate through the system spatially and temporally to get a better understanding toward the interpretation and tuning of deep marine paleoclimate records.

By using a large ensemble of n-body simulations, time series analysis techniques, and obliquity models, I investigate how sensitive Earth’s astronomical cycles are to the architecture of the Solar System and what this implies from the climate variability experienced by Earth.

With high-resolution paleo-temperature proxies and marine carbonate proxies in combination with Earth system model output, we can unravel how much carbon was released and the rate at which carbon was released during past global warming events, while studying the subsequent environmental impacts.
